Using konqueror, i can transfer files to and from the phone. I am going to repeat the work on my gentoo system running gnome in a couple of days.

Use it if you can. fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has some support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS par- tition tables. Avoid it if you can. sfdisk is for hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is more correct than fdisk and more powerful than both fdisk and cfdisk.

[ilugd] FlashMob Falls Short of Supercomputer Goal
Hi all, just wanted to share this information regarding the flashmob I event which happened earlier today. I have been following this event for quite a few weeks.

Anyways, those sources are outdated now. You better get fresh source packages or available patches.

The symlink to /lfs/Mail is sufficient. On debian (reiserfs filesystem) all I need to do is mount the ext3fs for mails. That way, whichever system I boot, I can always check my mails. The whole thing is completely transparent. No synchronizing whatsoever. I use KDE 3.1.4 on BSD, KDE 3.1.3 on LFS and KDE 3.2 on debian. They have never created any problems. In fact I have even used the same folders with RH7.3's kmail. The only thing I have to check is what type of mailbox the user-agent is using, i.e. whether maildir or mbox. Kmail stores mails in maildir format by default. If you use mbox type mailboxes, you can even open the same with mutt (or for that matter any other s/w) without needing to do any changes except create a symlink. Of course you can set up most mail agents to use the type of mailboxes you prefer. Also, copying the kmailrc file to another distro saves me the trouble of setting up any account details. And finally... a symlink to .gnupg folder lets me use the same GPG settings and signatures. Nevertheless, sometimes things can go wrong. For that I use mhonarc to create html archives of all my mailboxes. Tell me, is this situation hazardous? Regards, Bhaskar. - -- ___ Bhaskar Dutta [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG .eq.

libdvdcss is the library used to access dvds like a block device. You dont
need to worry about the decryption of dvds anymore. libdvdcss doesn't require
the region of your drive to be set. Even with region mismatch, it reads DVDs.
Cool, heh!
Here's what the actual documentation of the library says about your hidden
directory:
quote
Some environment variables can be used to change the behaviour of libdvdcss
without having to modify the program which uses it.
DVDCSS_METHOD: sets the authentication and decryption method that libdvdcss
will use to read scrambled discs. Can be one of title, key or disc.
DVDCSS_CACHE: specify a directory in which to store title key values. This
will speed up descrambling of DVDs which are in the cache. The DVDCSS_CACHE
directory is created if it does not exist, and a subdirectory is created
named after the DVD's TITLE OR MANUFACTURING DATE.
If DVDCSS_CACHE is not set or is empty, libdvdcss will use the default value
which is ${HOME}/.dvdcss/
/quote---
I got this from the libdvdcss developer documentation at:
http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss/libdvdcss/doc/html/
BTW, some more information on DVDs.
I use okle, xine, mplayer totem to play DVDs. They play all DVD's
flawlessly. Only problem i have faced is that okle needs a restart when you
change DVDs. Hopefully that will be rectified soon.
Transcode is another amazing software which provides fantastic tools to rip
dvds. I have dvd::rip installed but there is this amazing perl script called
V2divx which keeps everything very neat and simple. Converting the LOTR-III
DVD (3 hrs 12 min long) to divx using V2divx (using transcode and ffmpeg)
took only _three_and_a_half_hours (on an LFS system with 512MB RAM and 1800+
athlon XP) What I got was a neatly done 700MB divx file which I burned to a
single cd! Now the DrDivx professional software (on windows) would take
around 7 hrs to do the same thing. Dunno why? :-)
regards,
Bhaskar.
P.S. Can anyone tell me what frame rate they get while encoding DVDs in
windows and linux? I get around 62-65 fps under linux.

So I wanted to avoid doing binary to hexa in my mind every time i need KS to put binary value into the field. KS KS So i would be happy to be able to put value as full 32bit in one go in KS binary representation to the register. The binary representation will enable KS me to see where i wanted to put 1 and where 0 instead of converting hexa to KS binary and binary to hexa in my brain.

I don't see any reason why it should be posted to a Linux user group, unless you think that some very smart programmers frequent this list (btw I am sure there are lots!). I suggest you create a bit mask macro in C to ease your troubles. Write a small macro to input in binary format and return in hex format. There is no way to directly assign binary numbers like hex or octal numbers, considering the fact that that *everything* is stored in binary. I don't understand why you are saying that it is more difficult using hex than binary. I think it is far easier to talk in hex than in binary! In fact that's why those geeks the started using hexadecimal system in the first place, ie primarily to represent binary numbers in shorthand notation for ease. You can also consider using a binary to hex calculator (search in google. One can be found at http://math.hws.edu/TMCM/java/DataReps/ ). Then enter the binary digits, get the hex output, and input the hex result using 0x prefix. I would still suggest to use the hex system. In fact, working with network packets, you should definitely use hex. Get used to it. Its far more convenient. Look, even my GPG key is shown in HEX!

So your libs are getting installed in /usr/local/lib and not /lib. Check the Makefile of the source package. You will find a line prefix = /usr/local. This is basically done by all source packages so as not to mess around with the default system settings. /usr/local/ holds all such sources you compile and install. The system doesn't mix up between the two. Even after you did a make install, the package is still asking for the lib. That means your /usr/local/lib path is not searched for library files. You are required to add the path to search for library files. Read the INSTALL file that comes with the libsigc++-1.0.4 tarball. Also ./configure --help will show you how to change the default install directories. Either you edit the Makefile ( not recommended as files might be erased etc) to install them in the system directories or pass parameters to the configure script. Also, when you install a source package, the rpmdb doesn't get updated. Installing a package with rpm -ivh *** updates the rpmdb so you can use rpm - -qa to query the BerkeleyDB database. So the database doesn't know about the new install you had done. Querying it is meaningless. Hence you didn't get any result. But its installed OK.

Grub's installed in the MBR and my /boot (where GRUB is located) is /dev/hda5 (within 8.3 GB though I have an Asus A7VE motherboard with a comparatively new BIOS). I boot around 8 different linux kernels with grub and they all load fine. Even kernels beyond 60 GB are loaded without any problem from ext3 partitions. (my debian /boot is beyond 60GB). Now I have a FreeBSD slice (hda3) beyond 72 GB. The problem is that my kernel doesn't boot from it. I have tried all possibilities but have reached no solution as yet. From the GRUB command-line during boot, when I do root (hd0,14), grub says partition is unknown type but gives the correct hex value. Seems it is not being able to recognize the UFS partition. After that the boot command fails. Interestingly the same version of GRUB boots my FreeBSD installation from a 40 GB Seagate HDD connected as primary slave. It boots without any problems. Here the same version of grub shows the correct partition type. I am wondering whether grub fails to recognize UFS partitions beyond 60-70 GB. Is this a known issue with grub?

In that case, one might as well regress to the world of corporate operating systems like IBM mainframes and VAX/VMS, where commands were always verbose, meaningful, pregnant with significance, and devoid of any tongue-in-cheek anything.

[ilugd] Hotwire Client for Linux
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I remember a thread on hotwire client for linux that started in july. I browsed thru it again today and it didn't seem to have any concrete solution on the matter. Did any of you guys do anything? I have been myself using hotwire internet for the last 5 months on linux (redhat 8 on WINE). There seems to be no problem with wine running the MFC app (shittiest VC++ app I have ever seen!) on linux. I don't know how many of you have tried this solution. Now, why I am starting the thread again is because I wasn't pleased with the way the authentication client was working (seems to get disconnected often) and storing username , passwd, DNS etc. was a big hassle. So I wrote a socket application which does the same thing as the client. The code is in plain C and it is only command-line (will modify to include a config file to store persistent data). I have reduced the keep-alive packet timeout with the server and it seems the application is running better than the shitty windows client! Right now I am running the app and the results are very satisfactory (been up for an hour with no disconnection and avg speed of 10kbps). Now what I want to know is that how many hotwire internet users are there in this group who would be interested in this application. I started a few hours back and its already running by now. If anyone is interested, please mail me and let me know ASAP. I will develop it further, maybe adorn it with a GUI. If anyone is interested in developing, you are welcome. Also I want to know from the experienced developers in the list that what I should use to code the GUI for the app so that all distros can use it. Any comments??

Re: [ilugd] Re: two questions
Hi, I finally got to know the reason for the mysterious occurrences regarding whois and ping. LL please give your valuable suggestions on this. There seems to be a rogue worm in the wild, aptly named [EMAIL PROTECTED] worm. Seems to infect TCP port 43 (thus affecting whois) and manipulate the server's NVT ASCII replies. The worm also injects malicious text into the ICMP packets resulting in the strange ping replies. The worm is Artificially Intelligent (mind you!) and seems to be able to do amazing things not discovered yet ... LL has already encountered one ... what about the others?

I would be glad if someone helps me resolve this matter. Reports on the internet suggest that for the time being use the who_the_hell_is utility instead of whois.

Re: [ilugd] auto-startup a script, apps, *after* runlevel5
Hi LL, the .xinitrc file strongHAS/strong to be an executable script. You can't run it if it isn't. It may be in any language, though people use simple shell scripts. It isn't any simple file containing app names. Xsession checks if the +x bit is set before running the script. It doesn't try to guess what language the .xinitrc file is written. You should mention that explicitly ( the shebang line is _MUST_ ). I am sending a sample .xinitrc I picked up from somewhere on the net last year (had modified it to work for me). Adjust accordingly. Googling helps a lot on this topic. -BOF-- #!/bin/sh userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap xclients=$HOME/.Xclients if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi xterm +sb -fg green -bg black -C -geometry 45x6-200+8 -fn 6x13 -name console # other programs add here ARG=$1 DEFAULTWM=startkde if [ ! $ARG ]; then ARG=$DEFAULTWM fi elif [ $ARG = kde ]; then WM=startkde if [ $ARG = gnome ]; then WM=gnome-session elif [ $ARG = after ]; then WM=afterstep elif [ $ARG = wm ]; then WM=wmaker elif [ $ARG = ice ]; then WM=icewm else WM=$DEFAULTWM fi #finally, run the window manager, and redirect the stdout #and stderr to the file wm_out for debugging purposes exec $WM ~/wm_out --EOF--- now, all you have to do is type startx kde at the prompt to launch kde wm. Similarly for others. If you boot to runlevel 5, it will launch your default window manager. Remember that when you exit your window manager, X ends. So basically the last line in .xinitrc has to hang as long as you want your X session. Now there's a catch where certain settings are overridden after you start the window manager. To avoid this, use similar code in .xinitrc:: -shell code starts-- WM pid_wm=$! xterm xmms ... ... wait pid_wm #do clean-up if necessary -shell code ends-- What the code does is that it runs the window manager, saves the pid of the process, then runs your programs. Finally it waits on the wm process. When you kill the wm, your X session ends.

[ilugd] MD5 problem
Hi, I just happened to finish downloading a 630 MB ISO image. Now when I check the MD5 checksum of the image i had downloaded with the original one, I get a different result! Nevertheless, I burned the image to a CD. I checked the MD5 checksums given in various folders of the distro cd and they seemed to match with the ones provided ( I tried searching all but it was too tedious doing manually. Using diff solved the problem though I had to look at the output for a while). Now, the problem is that the binaries don't have a checksum provided. (eg. files in boot folder). So I can't know if any file is corrupt. I tried booting from the disc and it went off well. I am just scared that I might crash the installation if some important file is corrupt (some file has to be corrupt, isn't it?). Can anyone tell me if I can sort this problem without requiring to download the image again? Suppose I get thru the installation, will the OS crash? Or will the installation not finish?

[ilugd] Re: Accessing NTFS filesystems from Linux
Hi, I would like to make a few suggestions to Subodh on mounting NTFS partitions under Redhat. Firstly please check whether NTFS support is enabled in the kernel. Redhat doesn't support NTFS in the kernel due to certain legal reasons. I dont know about PCQ Linux 8.0. Check whether NTFS is supported by executing # cat /proc/filesystems If you see the word NTFS in the output then you are through! Else you will have to download the NTFS modules for your kernel from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html Install the RPM for your kernel you obtained from the site. You may also compile a kernel with NTFS support from the kernel sources if you can. After this phase is over, type # fdisk -l /dev/hda to find the devices mapped to your windows NTFS partitions. If your C Drive is NTFS, you will see hda1 mapped to NTFS and so on... Now, create mount points for your NTFS partitions like: # mkdir /mnt/win_drive and then mount the partition (READ ONLY) by: # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_drive -t ntfs -r Be careful not to mount the drive with default settings as then it mounts in rw mode which may end up screwing your NTFS file system. Remember to unmount the drive before shutdown by doing # umount /mnt/win_drive To automagically do all the above stuff of mounting and unmounting, add the following line to your /etc/fstab file: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro0 0 Note: Remember not to mount the drive with write option as it is not fully supported. If you store any tarballs in the NTFS drive and try to unzip them using gzip or bunzip etc, you will be writing to the NTFS partition. Don't do this as it may result in a corrupted file-system. --- Subodh wrote: From: # Subodh # [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ilugd] accessing NTFS Hi ! I have a PCQLinux8.0.
